Hi May, I finished radiation 8 weeks ago. I had the usual peeling, discolouration, itchiness during and after but no blisters and no pain.

The nipple pain is random, sometimes sharp, sometimes aching, sometimes burning. I got my GP to check/ feel, he says all is okay no swelling or lumps. Yesterday I had my radiation oncology followup and he also said it is good and that pain .
I too was very worried but I feel better after speaking to the oncologist. He is going to see me again and in 3 months and I will have another CT scan, hoping it all settles down by then.
